Students with disabilities
You can get Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) to assist with additional costs you might have to pay as a direct result of your disability, mental health condition (such as depression or anxiety) or specific learning difficulty (such as dyslexia or dyspraxia) while studying.
DSAs include help with the cost of:
- A non-medical helper;
- Items of specialist equipment;
- Travel; and
- Other course-related costs.
